Don’t disturb island’s tranquility

While visiting Toronto to attend TIFF, I discovered an outdoor escape: the waterfront and Toronto Islands. A short ferry trip, bicycling, and a treed green space allowed one a serene restfulness. Unbelievably a major North American city busied itself in the near background. How wonderful that Toronto is maintaining this soul-refreshing experience for its citizens and visitors to enjoy.

The only glitch in my island adventure was the loud noise of airplanes as they landed and took off. To my dismay I have since read Toronto is considering major changes to the Island Airport to permit jets to use this facility.

I understand the convenience of this for those downtown-bound but surely your new rapid link from Pearson Airport will address this? Please Toronto, think before you irretrievably lose this tranquil soundscape in your precious waterfront area.
